Dude is 100% BRAIN DEAD. If he was even remotely alive, they would have did a video call or at the very least they would have gotten on the phone. Nope. Dude is 100% dead.

I’m part of the minority that voted for this fool and also living in the same nightmare.

The US is supposedly already converted to metric.

Honestly, even if it’s real, I would still doubt it.

…no… Dead people can’t give public updates.

Oh wow, he backed out of the race? For a second there I thought he was just being presidential.

Sure, I’m wrong about piracy on Linux. I didn’t know it was so established. That doesn’t mean I’m some kind of noob online.

Im the lead developer at my work. Im quite capable and comfortable in Linux.

Unfortunately, Linux doesn’t get very good hardware support. So you either have to compile the drivers yourself or hope someone else has done that work. Nobody got time for that.

Some of us use computers to run a business instead of play games.

Unfortunately true. I’m agnostic to the OS. I’m 100% the use case and the feasibility and longevity.

Use whatever OS fits your needs. Not what Lemmy thinks you need. Because at the end of the day you’re the one stuck trying to vibe code a driver or a function that you need/want.

Case in point. I spent 1 full week trying to get the Ethernet to stop asking for a static IP even tho it’s been set to DHCP. It turned out the motherboard is too new and there is limited driver support. After compiling my own drivers, the entire system would panic without any logs. Even full verbose and custom watchers. Nothing.

Meetings with clients would frequently panic or my entire codebase would vanish after a crash.

I reinstalled windows and just worked. No fiddling. No compiling. No researching. Just worked.

All my other homelabs are on Linux. Just the main workhorse is Windows.

Im a dev and have multiple homelabs using Linux. I’m not shy or not willing to use Linux. But the truth of the matter is if we don’t have support for newer hardware or some niche hardware. I could compile drivers myself, but that is a high entry barrier for 99.9% of people.

You want your system to just work and Windows does that(majority of the time). Hardware companies large and small support Windows. So you will likely have a fix faster or a driver on zero day instead of waiting for someone to help you build it.

Just use Winhance. It not only removes all AI bullshit, it also makes your computer faster. Linux boxes are great if you wanna live exclusively in Steam. Some of us pirate games that aren’t on Steam.

So global warming isn’t real or are they still think it’s space lasers?

Well, at the time, there was no AI. So a lot of this was just me and stack overflow. I imagine it’s a lot easier now.

I had 3 Ethernets. 2x 10Gbe. 1x 1Gbe.

My Synology would directly connect to the proxmox directly using the 10Gbe since it has immich on it and the source of truth is on the Synology.

The other 10Gbe went into the 10Gbe switch which had ports for 2.5Gbe and my wifi 7 connects to this.

The main WAN would come in on the 1Gbe.

Any random settings that I updated, I would lose everything and have to plug in a keyboard and redo the .conf.

What I ended up doing was just have one the 10Gbe as the router WAN and then the 1Gbe became the console/different VLAN and so I don’t count on the router to connect to my pfsense.

I still at the very end just gutted pfsense out and gave it a proper box. Never a problem since.

I did the same setup except I used pfsense and a Dell.

I wouldn’t recommend it at all. Want setting change that requires a reboot from proxmox would result in a total lots of the network. The weakest link is settings based.

I can’t begin to tell you the amount of times this happened to me that I went out and bought a Intel NUC and put the pfsense on bare metal.

Unfortunately some games are exclusive to some consoles. Ghost of Yotei was a great game. I’m glad I have a PS5 for it, but it’s sad I won’t be able to play their next installment.

I still have my edu email and it does a verification for class enrollment.
